I actually think it's pretty amusing/cool, to be honest. I hate preening, showboating, etc. in sports (act like you've been there before and all that), so good on them for calling out guys who do it.

The Braves have also been pretty unassuming this season, despite the fact that they've been in first place the entire season (save one day). I'd imagine it sticks in their craw to see lesser teams celebrate relatively inconsequential successes while the Braves have been winning without feeling the need to show off.

Second, unless I'm forgetting one. There was the one in the pic and last night.

as a braves fan, i have zero clue as to how this series with the dodgers is going to go. on one hand, they effectively treated the last 3 weeks of the season as spring training part 2 and played themselves right out of home field advantage. on the other, they've overcome injuries, a lack of a real ace, and brutal offense from the starting cf and 2B, and still had the second best record in the league. in any event, i am not feeling optimistic at the prospect of facing kershaw twice.

You can be sure it will involve Brian McCann sanctimoniously getting in Yasiel Puig's face.

The Tigers were swept by the Marlins--all games lost by just one run.
Tigers pitching, going into the playoffs, is strong.
Tigers hitting has been dismal.

I'm not pushing the panic button. But, maybe, I've just looked at it a bit.

It is too early for SteveB to say, "Kitty, kitty."

Hats off to the Cleveland Indians. 10 wins in a row. What a fantastic way to end the regular season.

Not looking forward to a possible late playoff start time with Oakland. The game could start at 10 p.m., Eastern Time. Of course, for Tiger fans who live in the UK, the game will be perfect for watching over breakfast.
